What it is	Physical & Environmental Sciences is a degree where you study the natural world through disciplines like physics, chemistry, geology, astronomy, and environmental science. You choose which areas to focus on based on your interests. The co-op option lets you alternate study with paid work terms in science-related workplaces, giving you real experience alongside your classes. This program suits students who want to understand how Earth and space work and prefer hands-on learning combined with classroom study.	A BA in Geography covers the physical Earth — landforms, climate, ecosystems — alongside human systems like culture, economics, and cities. You'll study both natural processes and how people shape and live in different places. It suits students curious about why the world works the way it does and interested in solving real-world problems across environment and society.	This program combines the study of how cities and human communities interact with natural systems, drawing on environmental science, geography, and social perspectives. You'll examine urban planning, resource use, climate impacts, and sustainability solutions across both natural and human dimensions. The co-op option lets you work in government, nonprofits, or consulting firms while you study, which suits people who want practical experience alongside classroom learning.
